    Summary

    “Aglaea?” Caenis’s shrill voice quickly brings Algaea back to the present. “You seem rather… distracted. Has something gone wrong?”

    “Apologies, council members. I simply was informed of an issue that needs my immediate assistance.” Aglaea’s curt nod of faux apologies only made the already quivering threads surrounding the council members shake harder. The mix of emotions carried by her threads, one encompassing Castorice and her lust, the others communicating the council’s disdain, made Aglaea’s head spin. “Unfortunately, I have to take my leave. We will meet again shortly.”

    --

    Aglaea is in an unbearable council meeting. Castorice provides a distraction.

    Summary

    S.A.M. once again posted a warning about a threat. Silver Wolf’s eyes seemed to stare through the warning sign, right into Firefly’s own. “Let’s just… relax. Just us and some games. Live a little.”

    “...Alright.” Her voice sounded too soft in her throat, too distorted from her visor. She hoped Silver Wolf didn’t notice how it softened, hoped the wind drowned out her worries as she boosted forward to the Stern’s deck.

    Firefly has been worrying. Silver Wolf helps.

    Summary

    “You miss me today?” Cecilia murmurs into pink hair, smiling as she feels Raora nod into her neck.

    “I didn’t want to bother you,” Raora starts, pressing a kiss into Cecilia’s neck in return. There’s a tinge of desperation in her tone that has Cecilia pulling away from Raora’s lips, meeting her eyes with a quizzical look. “But I got lonely. So here I am— bothering you.”

    --

    Cecilia gets a visit from a lonely Raora. They have different definitions of the word 'lonely'.

    Summary

    “A match made in heaven, right? 'Cecilia’s' and the mystery store. I’m sensing romance already, perfect for Hallmark.”

    “Oh, please,” Cecilia scoffed, flicking the 'open' sign on. “I won’t find love in some random mystery shop.”

    --

    A new shop opens up right across from Cecilia's cozy café, bringing a promise of big things.

    Summary

    “I wasn’t ready,” Mumei announced to no one in particular, her partners ignoring the sudden voicing of thoughts in favor of resting against the crackling fire. “I wasn’t…”

    “Yes, you were.”

    --

    Mumei hides from her fate of harboring a myth. Kronii finds her lost in the sand.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to leave me at my door, Cecilia,” Raora repeats, not quite meeting Cecilia’s eyes. “It’s chivalrous and charming and adorable–” an inhale, “–but I don’t want you to leave yet.”

    Their hands are raised and Raora finally meets her eyes. Cecilia is already starting to feel steam form at the shyness, at the blush dusting Raora’s cheeks.

    “Cuddle me to sleep?”

    --

    Cecilia doesn't need to sleep, though she's always wished she could. Raora helps.

    Summary

    Little emotion goes into the act of murder— though Elizabeth still calls it justice. She’s blinded by a vigilante-esque mindset, with Nerissa just enjoying the ride, watching her slowly master the art of snuffing out a life.

    She started with gunshots. Too loud; the police arrived in a minute, the pair escaping by the skin of their teeth. Then suffocation, which resulted in hard-fought battles of strength which often left them exhausted.

    A good old knife to the throat. Elizabeth was always a sucker for the classics.

    --

    Vigilante justice, a blind trust that Nerissa and Elizabeth have shared beliefs. Nerissa just enjoys the ride.

    Summary

    “So we sit here and wait.” A deep sigh of annoyance follows Cecilia’s statement.

    Raora chuckles at her partner, at the circumstances. “We could wait, sure. Or… we could acknowledge that we both miss each other a lot, and make up for some lost time in the back seat.”

    Cecilia’s mouth falls open.

    -

    After Liz sends Cecilia and Raora on a stakeout mission, Raora finds a way to let Advent off the hook.

    Summary

    “Your key is slowing– how long have you been in here? Need me to stick around for when you finally conk out and need my help again?”

    She chuckles at the thought, but Cecilia doesn’t return the laugh. What greets her instead is a cheeky smile, all teeth accompanied with raised eyebrows.

    The bird prototype is finally set down, porcelain digits resting against Cecilia’s chin. “Oh, so now you’re keeping tabs on when my key stops, huh?"

    Though the comment was dripping with sarcasm, quickly followed by a snort of laughter, Gigi’s heart still stops in its tracks.

    They’re talking about it now. She really doesn’t want to talk about this right now.

    --

    Gigi has been noticing a lot about Cecilia lately, and is having trouble coming to terms with her feelings.

    Cecilia doesn't help.

    Summary

    Coffee was bitter and generally unpleasant. Cecilia stood by that. Tea, however, soothed her internal systems with a calming fragrance and consistency, as well as harbored a much better— and more diverse— pallet.

    It was the superior beverage to everyone.

    Everyone but Raora.

    --

    Raora disagrees that tea is superior to coffee, so she takes her out to a cafe to prove her point.

    Cecilia can't decide if it's a date.

    Summary

    Sensory overload, in a more modern sense, happens in her mainframe once every few checkups.

    It wasn’t important then, but it sure as hell was important now. With no creator around and no way to fix herself manually, Cecilia was running out of options. Fast.

    So, she sits on the floor of her room, reveling in the cold of her hardwood floor, and decides that this is a problem for future Cecilia.

    Her key stops and she falls asleep.

    Cecilia has an issue with her sensory receptacle, and Raora wants to help out.

    It becomes more then either of them expect.

    Summary

    "Feel like telling me why exactly? I have a lot of kids calling me asking to play more of her songs, you know.”

    There were a lot of different ways to lie to this question. Her voice was unpleasant. She listened to the songs too many times– that lie was true, mostly.

    “Maybe I’ll call back and explain it,” Irys said instead.

    Irys ended the call after a short goodbye– 'talk soon' was left unsaid.

    --

    Irys, desperate to escape IRyS, her persona and popular singer, travels far west to a random college town in Calliope's old Ford truck. When the local radio station begins playing the songs she wants to avoid, a change has to be made.

    Summary

    “Ouch, my poor water bill,” Kronii clicked her tongue in disapproval before gesturing to the shower, “I thought we were going to take a bath? Why the shower?”

    Mumei shrugged, holding up her hands. “Blood on my hands."

    Summary

    The woman took a moment to compose herself as Amelia did nothing but stare. At the sound of her clearing her throat, the biology teacher jumped back, embarrassed.

    “You startled me,” the woman giggled, and oh, Amelia’s heart melted at the spot. Her voice was lovely, a quiet and soft sound. She wanted to hear her talk forever.

    Amelia cleared her throat, suddenly finding words nearly impossible to get out. “I’m sorry,” she forced out, clearing her throat and attempting to regain a sense of control. “I just… wanted to say it, I guess. Probably should’ve knocked on the door, though.”

    Summary

    “Stop looking at me like I gave you the world,” Mumei muttered behind a blush, “I’m literally just tying your shoes.”

    “You’re so gentle, though. It’s hard not to feel kinda loved right now.”

    Summary

    “You sound so sweet and so threatening at the same time,” Mumei said, awe dripping through her tone.

    “It’s impressive,” Kronii agreed, nodding.

    “I’m flattered,” Fauna giggled, sliding onto Kronii’s lap, “but really, no threats. Only love.”

    Summary

    She giggled, a light, airy sound that made Kronii’s heart flutter unwillingly. “I always prefer to paint candid portraits,” she said with a smile, “they always feel more genuine that way. You seem genuine– like a genuine person, I mean.”

    “You don’t even know me,” Kronii remarked, “yet you’re making assumptions about me.”

    “I think I’d like to know you.”

    Summary

    Kronii was well aware of her status in town, being referred to as the Warden. A mercenary with no morals, some called her.

    Mumei, however, was a completely different story. Her warm demeanor never changed, even as she examined new and old scars running down her biceps, face, and neck. Her soft hands tended to Kronii’s wounds, thumbs rubbing softly against her cheek as she tended to some burns on Kronii’s face. Her smile remained soft the entire time, and Kronii found herself melting.

    Summary

    “I think I need to teach you how to play basketball,” Mumei mused, tapping her chin as if seriously considering the concept. “I don’t think you know how to shoot the ball. Or if you know what a hoop is.”

    Kronii chuckled under her breath, deciding to play along. “Yes, please do, I seem to be completely lost on the court. I do believe I am free–” she looked at her wrist, pretending to check a watch, “- after this game. You can come home with me and teach me how to play this accursed game. How about it?”

    Mumei paused. Then, slowly, she asked, “...are you asking me to go on a date after you publicly embarrassed yourself in front of a shit ton of people?”
